App Store Update, in Video Form!

With two previous days of ASU experience under our belts, we tackle the mega-sized Thursday update. Behold!

The wrath of the dead rabbit continues in this all-new iOS follow-up to Sega’s bad platformer from last October. Bad platformer? Yeah – it scored only a 4.9 in Greg’s review. But hey, maybe this new release is better?

Crazy Raider – ($0.99)

It’s a frantic top-down shooter with a strict time limit – you’ve only got one minute to charge into dungeons, crypts and tombs and blast your way through the undead denizens there to score some sweet ancient treasures.

Grudger – ($2.99)

A hybrid puzzler/runner that lets you explore at your leisure. (And apparently stars one of the kids from South Park.)

The Gods: Rebellion – ($0.99)

Chillingo takes on Sony’s God of War franchise, swapping in Chinese mythology for the Greek.

Cyto – ($0.99)

Chillingo’s second new release of the day keeps things cuter and cuddlier, as you help a little globular guy recover his lost memories.

Backflip Madness – ($0.99)

Parkour takes center stage in this realistic take on the flipping, gymnastic sport – just try not to land on your head.

Worm Run – ($0.99)

A massive worm from outer space is chasing you. Swipe to survive!

Year Walk – ($3.99)

A mysterious, intentionally enigmatic adventure that’s so obtuse you may need a guide to help you make any sense of it. Weird, but original!

Color Sheep – ($0.99)

Protect yourself from an encroaching group of multi-colored wolves by barfing rainbow lasers. Color Sheep!

Price Drops

Plants vs. Zombies – (Free)
